Coming up to Christmas people should be on guard and alert to the robbery of gold and jewellery around the countryside. Shops have been opened up inviting people to bring gold jewellery to be melted down and sold with no restrictions. I am getting tired of free legal aid being granted to people who commit crimes, come out on bail and commit more crimes. The judges, without even questioning the fact that they may have assets, like some of the people in "Love/Hate", grant free legal aid willy-nilly. The best lawyers are employed at the best fees to defend these people, who are indefensible.
